[QUOTE="lotech, post: 1845674, member: 63141"] I'm not familiar with Hammer bullets as mentioned in the original post, but I tried many bullets and powders in a new Cooper .270 about ten years ago. Overall and to my surprise, best accuracy with all bullet weights (130 -150 grains) was achieved with Reloder 19. However, the accuracy advantage, while measureable, was often not great. I've pretty much gone exclusively to the Hodgdon Extreme powders for many rifle cartridges because fall temperatures can vary so widely in the mountainous western US. A .270 bullet I've had good results with on bull elk has been the Barnes 130 TSX BT. I've used a lot of H4831 in various .270s, but usually find H4350 will do at least as well from both velocity and accuracy perspectives. H4350 is my choice in the Cooper .270. Either powder can safely drive a 130 grain bullet to 3100 fps or a little more. [/QUOTE]
